Dear Cali Chica:

Good Monday Morning to you! I am glad you had fun times recently and it seems that you and your sister are closer these days- I hope this is and continues to be a win-win relationship. I am glad your husband wanted to go  to a concert Friday- a positive indication of his mental state.

Remember what made the recent social  time so enjoyable, “a breath of fresh air and reset”- it was socializing “on our terms and our choices (unlike planned events with others such as weddings”- and base your future choices on this very experience, the London experience vs the most recent.

I am glad your gyn results are normal (and so is the routine test I took recently because of my communication with you!).

My weekend was fine. I  like social occasions, people around but sometimes it gets too much. The last party I attended was a neighbors’ party, a feast put together by an extended Filipino family- slaughtered half pigs lay about on tables (I can imagine what that would do  to vegetarian you!) and lots and lots and lots of food. I had a sample here and there  but the sheer amount of food and buzzing excitement around (followed by no contact and no friendships with any of the party people) was not a desirable experience for me.

Hope you have a good Monday and rest of the week.
